We’re at CEDIA 2024 with Will, diving into JVC’s brand new lineup of laser projectors. This is an exciting moment as JVC unveils its first-ever, all-laser lineup, bringing high-quality native 4K projection to the market. Let’s explore these new models and see why they’re creating such a buzz.
Introducing the NZ500: Compact Power with Laser Precision
The first projector we’re looking at is the NZ500, also known as the RS 1200. JVC has created the smallest native 4K projector they’ve ever produced, and it’s packed with upgrades. Gone are the days of lamps—this model uses a blue laser light source to deliver increased brightness at 2,000 lumens and a 40,000:1 native contrast ratio.
This compact projector also features a fully motorized 4K lens, making installation flexible and easy. With JVC’s Frame Adapt HDR Dynamic Tone Mapping and 100% Rec. 709 color space coverage, the NZ500 delivers impressive picture quality, vibrant color, and deep blacks for an immersive viewing experience.
Side-by-Side Demo with the NZ900 Flagship Model
One of the highlights of JVC’s booth is the side-by-side demo of the NZ500 alongside the flagship NZ900. This demo gives viewers a chance to see the difference in image quality between the two models. While the NZ500 is a fantastic entry-level option, the NZ900 takes performance to a new level with its 8K e-shift X technology and 150,000:1 native contrast ratio.
The NZ900 is JVC’s top model, known for delivering cinematic visuals with 3300 lumens of brightness and third-generation Frame Adapt HDR. The deep black tone control and Vivid Picture mode create lifelike visuals, making this projector ideal for serious home theater setups.
Pricing and Accessibility
For those looking for a high-quality laser projector at a more accessible price point, the NZ500 is available for $5,999.95, offering incredible value with HDR tone mapping, D-ILA technology, and native 4K laser projection. This pricing puts it in range with other high-quality brands, yet JVC’s native 4K and laser combination makes it a strong competitor.
Experiencing 8K Content with JVC’s 8K e-shift X
JVC showcased their 8K e-shift X technology by displaying native 8K 60p HDR content, offering a true cinematic experience with over 35 million addressable pixels. The e-shift technology, combined with JVC’s unmatched contrast and resolution, demonstrates the brand’s commitment to pushing the limits of home projection.
Bringing Laser Technology to a Broader Audience
JVC’s new lineup makes native 4K laser projectors more accessible, bringing high-quality projection to users at different price points. The NZ500 delivers HDR, tone mapping, and native 4K laser quality, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking to upgrade their home theater.
